Chapter 465: Wen Shichu was dragged
The old doctor felt the murderous aura coming out of the kitchen from time to time and sighed helplessly.
Why does he have such a miserable life? He originally wanted to run away to a remote place and live a leisurely life, but unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.
Or should he go and see what happened to his evil disciple who was determined to get into the world of wealth and fame?
Forget it. The tender-skinned young man inside has an extraordinary temperament and is definitely not someone that can be raised by an ordinary family. If I go there rashly, I will probably just walk into a trap.
I heard that the scenery in Jiangnan is beautiful. Why not go there for a walk?
The old doctor's gentle gaze swept over the rough wooden sign hanging around his neck, and he silently discussed in his heart: "Madam, where do you think I should go?"
Suddenly a strong wind blew up and a bent piece of straw fell from the eaves.
The old doctor frowned and looked at the thatch for a long time, then let out a breath.
"Since Madam misses that evil disciple, I will go there."
He thought to himself: At worst, I can just change my appearance when I get there.
The old doctor felt the steam coming out of the medicine jar and his nose twitched slightly. The medicine was not yet cooked and needed more firewood.
When he took the small piece of wood, he also grabbed a few handfuls of half-dried grass from the basket.
Perhaps he put too much firewood in it, and a lot of green smoke came out of the small clay stove, which made it almost impossible for A Jin to open his eyes.
"Old doctor, what are you doing?"
"The fire in the stove is almost out, I'm adding more wood..."
A Jin was afraid that the smoke would disturb the master in the house, so he quickly snatched the palm-leaf fan from the old doctor's hand.
As the sun gradually set, the master who had taken the medicine still showed no signs of waking up.
A Jin was anxious and found the old doctor who was making medicine pills in the backyard.
"Old sir, may I ask when my young master will wake up?"
The old doctor said without raising his head.
"Brave man, your young master is seriously injured. If he wakes up, it won't necessarily be a good thing. Letting him fall asleep in bed for a while will help him recover. You can feed him the medicine and broth."
Ah Jin heard the euphemism in the old doctor's words, and a wave of sadness welled up in his heart.
When he first saw his master's injuries, he found it hard to accept.
What's more, since he is a master who always wants to be strong in everything, it might be a good thing that he can't wake up for the time being.
"Old Doctor, my young master is currently unable to move, so I need to bother you for a few days. This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."
As A Jin spoke, he placed two silver ingots on the table.
He didn't give anyone a chance to refuse and just turned and left.
The old doctor looked at A Jin who left in a hurry without touching the ingots on the table.
This servant is quite cunning, who knows if he has any tricks up his sleeve for the ingots.
I'd better wait until dark and check it carefully.
Both people in front of and behind the house had different thoughts, while Prince Guo, who had been drugged for the second time, was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
A Jin had not slept all night and had been running around during the day. Feeling tired, he lay down not far from the bamboo couch where Prince Guo was sleeping.
The old doctor, who had been busy for some time, passed by the main room and gently woke the man up.
"Brave man, I am running low on stock. Your young master's medicine is missing an ingredient. I am going to the nearest village to get some. Please help look after the thatched cottage."
When Ah Jin heard that the old doctor was doing it for his master, how could he not agree?
He took out another handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the old doctor's hand.
"Old sir, you've been running around for my young master, so how could I let you go to such expense? Please accept this small amount of change."
The old doctor refused in vain and had to put the heavy copper coins into the small cloth bag in his backpack.
As soon as he went out, he headed in a certain direction with determination.
Lingyun Peak
Zhen Huan looked at the setting sun gradually disappearing in the horizon, and an inexplicable worry surged in her heart.
She asked the people standing outside again.
"Bai Zhi, have you seen Wen Shichu?"
Bai Zhi, standing on the platform, shook her head slightly.
"Master, I have looked carefully and have not seen anyone going up the mountain yet."
"Don't worry, Doctor Wen is a man of his word. Since he said he would go up the mountain today, he will not break his promise."
Zhen Huan suppressed the panic in her heart and nodded as if she was persuaded.
"Wen Shichu is indeed trustworthy. He has never lied to me since I was a child."
Cui Jinxi, who was serving on the side, was not so optimistic. She believed that what her master had done could only be concealed with the help of Doctor Wen.
So she volunteered.
"Master, do you need me to go down the mountain to fetch Doctor Wen?"
Zhen Huan thought for a few breaths and nodded slowly.
"Aunt Jinxi, there's a shortage of supplies on Lingyun Peak. Please go to the nearest village and buy some food."
"It's getting late, you should go early and come back early."
Since Zhen Huan has made up her mind to return to the palace, she will no longer ruin herself.
Even if Wen Shichu couldn't make it, she would make sure she ate more.
After Cui Jinxi left, Zhen Huan was not idle either. She called Bai Zhi to her side.
"I originally came to Lingyun Peak to cultivate myself. No other objects should be here. Find them one by one and burn them all."
"Master, I will do it right away."
Bai Zhi understood what Zhen Huan meant. Nothing related to Prince Guo could be left on Lingyun Peak.
She wanted to completely erase all traces of Prince Guo's existence.
Baizhi acted quickly and picked out all the things in the house that did not belong to the three of them before dark.
"Master, those things are piled outside. Do you want to take a look?"
"No need. My old friend is not here. Going to see him will only make me more upset."
Zhen Huan waved her hand and pointed to a locked box in the room, "Let's burn that box too."
After she thought it through, she moved back to the Zen room where she used to live.
Hidden in the box are the memories of her and Prince Guo's past close friendship.
Now, everything has become a thing of the past.
"Yes, slaves obey."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, the master did not ask to check the items inside, otherwise he would know that some important things had been lost.
As soon as Cui Jinxi stepped onto the top of the mountain, her attention was attracted by the fire burning in front of her.
"Bai Zhi, what are you doing?"
"Aunt Jinxi, you're back."
Bai Zhi stepped forward and took the backpack from behind her, explaining in a low voice.
"The master asked me to burn some extra old things."
"Aunt, the master has been waiting for you for a long time, please go in quickly."
When Zhen Huan heard that there was still no trace of Wen Shichu, her heart sank.
"Bai Zhi, go to the city tomorrow to find out about Wen Shichu and find out why he broke his promise."
If Wen Shichu cannot come to Lingyun Peak, she must make plans in advance.
At this time, Wen Shichu, who was being missed by Zhen Huan, was waiting outside Yu Ying'er's yard. He was supposed to rush to Lingyun Peak early in the morning, but he was unexpectedly delayed by Yonghu Beizi who had overeating.
This was the first time that Wen Shichu broke his promise to Zhen Huan. He paced back and forth in the pavilion anxiously, his heart filled with guilt and uneasiness.
Tingyu, who came back with cakes, saw this scene and immediately went into the house to report.
"Concubine, I saw Doctor Wen running around outside in a panic. No wonder the Emperor sent him to look after our Prince."
"Would you like to send him a snack as well?"
Yu Ying'er thought about it and realized that Wen Shichu had indeed been dedicated since he came into the mansion, and it was only recently that he had been thinking about running away.
She whispered.
"Personally escort Doctor Wen back to his residence, and find two clever maids to serve him. Don't let him leave the Prince's residence until he recovers."
